I totally believe in magic. Because my life, I think, has been very magic, and magical things have come true for me time after time after time.

Time makes you bolder, children get older. I'm getting older, too.

I made a conscious decision that I was not going to have children. I didn't want others raising them, and looking after them myself would get in the way of being a musician and writer.

Being able to take care of myself is something that my mom really instilled in me.

I remember once Prince dropped by to see me when I was in Minneapolis and I was sick, with a bag of cough drops and a spoon of cough medicine. I said to him, "Hey, can I have another spoon of that? It's just over the counter," and he'd go, "No, I didn't come here to start up new drug addictions for you." And I was like, "C'mon, give me that bottle!" He was very watchful over me.
